Answer provided by our tutors

let


x = the hours she works in the cafeteria


y = the hours she works in the library


She works no more than 20 hours per week in the cafeteria and no more than 17 hours per week in the library:


x <= 20


y <= 17


She must work at least 20 hours each week:


x + y >= 20


a)Express the information as a system of inequalities:


x <= 20


y <= 17


x + y >= 20


b)Graph the solution set
